Classic Road Bikes at the Rusty Spoke in Phoenix

[albrt]

I volunteer at the Rusty Spoke, which is an all volunteer co-op in Phoenix. We recently purchased a whole bunch of classic road bikes and frames. I posted a comment in Schwinny's thread about a different co-op, and I said I'd start a new thread to avoid hijacking his thread.

There was a thread about the purchase at Bike Forums but the photo link has apparently expired.

FS: My Classic and Vintage bike & frame collection - Bike Forums

Classic and Vintage Sales - FS: My Classic and Vintage bike & frame collection - I am needing to sell my C&V bikes and frames on a short timeline. Until 5pm PST Friday 4/11/2025 the collection is available for $5200. Payment via PayPal family and friends or bank check. Collection must be removed...

I'll post a new link as soon as I get the chance.

Bike Forums doesn't allow bike shops (including co-ops) to post bikes for sale. I'll be listing some of the bikes here unless somebody tells me it's against the rules (I checked the rules and didn't see anything). I'm also interested in hearing advice on the best ways to get rid of such a large number of classic road bikes without losing money (hard to do these days, but some of these are pretty nice bikes).

I'll try to post a few pics later today.

I can't figure out how to do private conversations--I suspect I'm too new for that functionality to appear? If anyone has questions about a bike you can email me at "al at rustyspoke dot org".

Just sent you a message. You should have a notification on the envelope, top right tool bar next to your ID.

Here are some sample photos, hot from the storage unit.

If you plan on selling make sure you read the rules and decide whether your going to do a regular for sale ad or an auction style-Deal or No Deal (DOND) sale.

Thanks, I intend to do regular sale listings with prices. I probably won't list them all here though--we'll have several people listing bikes at different sites.

Here are the original inventory photos. A few of these have already been sold.

The site still won't let me initiate private conversations, but if you message me I can respond.

Were these all owned by the same rider?
They all seem to be fairly large frames. Too big for me.
I'm loving that purple Gitane Super Corsa!

I don't visit bike forums too often but I came across that thread about the huge collection out of Tucson. Glad you were able to save it and hope they all find good homes! You should have some good karma coming your way for the effort!
